I heart House of Rice!!! I am so glad I finally walked into this place a couple weeks ago. I'd thought it was a restaurant for years. Let me break it down real quick. I lived in Louisiana many years ago and two blocks from my house was an asian grocer/restaurant. I loved going on there, I could find spices and herbs no other place carried and their food was delish. The minute I walked into House of Rice, it's like I stepped back in time and I was so excited!! They have so much cool stuff, not just for cooking either!! I found Tai Chi shoes, clothes, tea ceremony supplies, tons of little knick knacks, origami paper and best of all: ikebana supplies!! I am a florist by trade, so just that was the icing on the cake! The staff is super friendly, prices are great! Domo arigato gozaimasu, House of Rice!!
